Well, first off you're not even setting it to the same value he was. :) > This is not the case with optimizations generally accepted to be > dangerous (like -O2) from which I have seen many failures from on my Grrr. Please stop raising -O2 - it's a total red herring and I've never implied any kind of causual link between the overall optimization level and the architecture specific optimizations. :( I don't know why everybody keeps bringing it up like it was garlic for warding off vampires or something. > own systems. Given the number of people who use -march with no ill > effects the 50/50 estimate is not very accurate. Ahem, do we actually know that number? I can't help but feel like we're both swinging in the dark here, the only difference being that I'm arguing about avoiding a serious failure and you're arguing about avoiding a serious warning. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
